WIN! An MOT and full service for your car – worth over £250

A trip to the garage for a service or the annual MOT is part of life for anyone with a car. Deep down, we know that servicing is important for ensuring the ongoing health and safety of our cars and that it helps them to run efficiently and reliably, and of course, the MOT is a legal requirement for every car over three years old.

But let’s face it, there are other things we’d rather spend our money on – we’ve probably all fantasised how great it would be to blow that money on a relaxing weekend away or a new Mulberry handbag.

So we’ve teamed up with leading garage network Halfords Autocentres to give one lucky reader the chance to do just that!

We’ve an MOT, worth £54.85 and a Full Service, worth up to £199, up for grabs. The prize can be redeemed at anytime during the next 12 months and can be taken at any of the company’s 260 Autocentres in the UK.

The Full Service is a thorough mechanical check, covering 67 essential areas of the engine, fuel system, electrical systems, steering and suspension, exhaust, brakes, tyres and wheels and more.

Halfords Autocentres is the UK’s leading independent car servicing, repair, tyre and MOT network providing dealership quality to around 650,000 customers every year.

The company understands that for many motorists, finding a garage you can trust which also provides a high standard of technical expertise and quality service for a fair price is a challenge they have to face during their motoring life.

For many however, garages conjure up emotions of anxiety akin to a visit to the dentist. In fact, in a survey commissioned by Halfords Autocentres, more than 50 per cent of women admitted to feeling anxious when going to see a mechanic, while nearly nine out of ten said they felt out of the depth when talking about mechanical or technical elements of their car.

According to Halfords Autocentres marketing director Rory Carlin, the company’s garages are working hard to banish these fears and create a positive experience for motorists seeking trustworthy advice, service and products.

“Our 260 Autocentres look after in excess of 650,000 motorists every year, the majority of whom tell us they would happily recommend us to a friend, so we are confident we have a good insight into what the average motorist is looking for in a garage.

“And the truth is, it’s nothing unreasonable – they want a service that is fairly priced with no hidden surprises, trust that what a technician is telling them is considered and accurate, and the reassurance that their car is in expert hands.

“Everything we therefore do is geared to creating an environment and culture that meets this demand and that makes the life of the motorist a little bit easier.”
